Recorded: August 18th 2025 | Will Compton and Taylor Lewan are bringing the Commissioner of College Football on to the team full-time! Josh Pate, college football’s favorite analyst, hops on the bus to talk shop on the 2025 season, and how his career has led up to the lore of what now is, Pate State University.

Before Josh joins, the Boys kick things off with a little preseason heat: Will breaks down UFC 319, Taylor gives his early Bussin’ Bowl predictions, and we get an official update on Papa Lewan’s first pitch mental prep for the KC first pitch.

Then it’s time for the man, the myth, the Late Kick legend himself—Josh Pate. The Boys get into everything from NIL chaos and conference realignment to which coaches are built for war and which programs are living off vibes. Josh pulls back the curtain on what it’s like building a football empire on YouTube, what fanbases really move the needle, and how he handles getting roasted online weekly.

Whether you’re an SEC diehard or a sicko watching Mountain West football at 2 a.m., this one’s for you.

Big hugs, tiny kisses.
